Are you In Search of a Better Way?

If you are in search of a better way to run your business, you have come to the right place. Here you will find a continuous improvement process that provides the foundation for exceeding expectations.

KAIZEN training provides the foundation for continuously increasing speed, improving quality and eliminating non-value-added activities/cost. The Japanese call it kaizen - a management culture of gradual, continuous improvement. We describe it as "a tenacious focus on quick-hitting, process improvements."  

If you doubt the power of gradual, continuous improvement you need to study the careers of Vince Lombardi and Tiger Woods. Their huge success stories are testimonials to KAIZEN. Vince Lombardi focused his players on the constant and continuous improvement of the execution of football basics - that's KAIZEN ! Tiger Woods attributes his success to his relentless quest for a better swing, for higher quality gamesmanship and a daily pursuit of perfection - that's also KAIZEN !

In business, KAIZEN focuses on three basics; Workplace Effectiveness, Elimination of Waste and Standardization. Kaizen keeps you thinking and proactive in your pursuit to improve. Bottom line results come slowly but surely and these incremental gains eventually add up to a significant competitive advantage. The spirit of kaizen can also provide innovative actions that can yield amazing breakthroughs in speed, quality and the elimination of non-value-added activities and relevant costs. .  

Without lean kaizen, individuals and companies gradually become complacent and accept the status quo as their business culture. As we see it, the lack of kaizen in a business culture is the primary cause of the downfall of many companies.

Kaizen Training... Are you In or out?

If your in, you've come to the right place. Here you will be presented an opportunity to take an action that will improve your professional life and your company's bottom line. I Guarantee it! "

Have a nice day, and stay connected.

The Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing Training Program

For more than 10 years, our customers have looked to Business Basics as a trusted developer of lean manufacturing tutorials, seminars, courses and training materials. Training options that help improve the performance of individuals, teams, organizations and companies

One of our customer saying it even better than we can:

"Your training materials are the easiest and fastest way to understand the practicalities of lean management that I have seen in many years of management consulting activity. I in-tend to use them in my practice, if you are agreeable, since I am now extending into new consulting areas."

                  Luis Nascimento, DMA Consultores, Porto, Portugal

Most training materials today are Adobe .pdf e-books with little or no effective graphics. Bill Gaw's Training Program on the other hand includes 155-powerful, PowerPoint  graphics, "plus" annotated note pages with explanations, and "lessons learned" by a "been there, done that" professional. A  value added, learning experience on "how to" design, implement and deploy lean KAIZEN manufacturing methodology for personal and company success. 

If you and your company are in search of effective kaizen and lean manufac-turing training, take five minutes and check out Bill's KAIZEN Based Lean Manufacturing Training Program. Simply click on the below link:

The Lean Kaizen Event
Facilitated by Bill Gaw or Enrique Mora

Compared to many other consultant firms, Business Basics avoids a general, philosophical approach. Rather we aim to be intensely practical, providing proven, actionable, how-to information for individuals and businesses that need to master Lean Kaizen in order to achieve their full growth and earning potentials

The Kaizen Blitz: It's the "how to" that really counts!

Another customer saying it better than we can:

"Bill Gaw's training is focused on the "how to." Unlike other training materials that tell you only what you need to do... Bill's training presents what you need to do and then he shows you how to do it."

Introducing "Papa Kaizen"

  
        Enrique Mora    

While mentoring a group of young and aggressive team members, during the implementation of a very successful client's lean kaizen event project,  Enrique, referred to them as "The Kaizen Kids." In a kindly response, the client's production manager came up with "Papa Kaizen" as an appropriate alias for their "make-a-difference" kaizen guru.

How do we get started?

Congratulations, if you have read this far, you are an excellent candidate for a Lean Kaizen Event. A pre-event meeting is necessary to assure that there is mutual understanding and agreement about:

The structure and objective of your 5-day event

The level of involvement and commitment required

Team members' roles, expectations and selection

Performance recognition and acknowledgement.

Our preference is to meet with the CEO and Operations executives at the factory site where the proposed Lean Kaizen Event would take place. A morning "get acquainted" meeting and plant tour is usually sufficient to cover the above subjects and establish mutual understanding of the Lean Kaizen Event's objectives and expectations. If agreement is reached and the event is approved, a time schedule is established.

If the factory site is in Southern California, there is no charge for this meeting. If it is outside Southern California, we ask potential client to budget for travel expenses. 

To discuss the get acquainted meeting, contact Bill Gaw  at: 760-945-5596 or email him at: bg@bbasicsllc.com
At no cost nor obligation of course.
